Front Rotor / 18 lbs 12 oz
Front Caliper / 7 lbs 14 oz
Front Mounting Bar / 10 oz
Rear Rotor / 18 lbs 12 oz
Rear Caliper / 7 lbs
Rear Mounting Bar / 7 oz

Why are you upgrading the brakes? They're amazing on the 3. Serious clamping power with no fade. I have yet to run out of brake at Sebring. I've run out of traction while braking, but never brake power.
